Review of The Tomorrow War (2021) by Simon_Says — 02 Jul 2021

Alright, let's break it down.

You send conscripted, untrained civilians to the front lines of a war, mostly urban and with an unconventional enemy and expect them to save you? You don't even develop a videogame you could sell to trainAlright, let's break it down.

You send conscripted, untrained civilians to the front lines of a war, mostly urban and with an unconventional enemy and expect them to save you?

You don't even develop a videogame you could sell to train BILLIONS of people at the same time so they could get the basics on how to fight that enemy?

And after decades, even with that time advantage to prepare during peacetime in the past and the whole world's resource at their disposal they haven't developed effective weapons to deal with their armored body?

Did the writers have any ideas how fast killing weapons can evolve? It's adapt or die. Anyone who studied war history or knows at least the basics knows this.

I'm not even military, yet I'm cringing how completely inept at suspending disbelief this script is.

At least other future alien wars movies had evolved their weapons to fight aliens and had at least half-useful training grounds. It was at least somewhat believable.

But this... It's an insult to people's intelligence.

And don't even mention the "capture" sequence... No tranq darts, no tazers, no nothing, just ropes... You'll shake your head so hard you'll get brain damage, and maybe then you'll enjoy the rest?

The critic reviews much more closely resemble the real ratings than the user score, which is baffling. So I'm gonna have to rebalance the user score a bit toward the saner side with a big fat ZERO.

It's more like a 3-4 if you completely disconnect your brain tho. If that's your thing, you'll have fun. Otherwise, HARD PASS, don't bother.
